It has been 10 days since Mom has been released from the hospital. Of those 10 days we have spent 4 out of 10 of the days at the hospital for a variety of reasons.
Currently her days are filled with physical therapy, managing her daily needs, sewing, the occasional visiting friend, and resting.
After some blood work this week the doctor told mom she did not have to have a platelet transfusion this week because her valued did not drop below 10,000! This is the longest stretch of time she has gone without a transfusion and we were very excited to learn this news.
The last two days mom has used her walker getting in and out of the car and going to PT as opposed to using her wheelchair so she is trying to push herself to regain strength.
The family would kindly like to ask for people to resist from bringing over sweet baked goods. She is on the verge of diabetes and when she takes steroids her cravings for sweets and carbs increases. We know these baked goods are filled with love and we appreciate the thought, but you would be supporting more by bringing over sugar free and gluten free foods (although please understand we have TONS of food at the house).
Thanks again for everyone's love and support!
